Students who earn a Secondary Mathematics Minor from EWU should be able to:
- apply of pedagogical content knowledge for secondary mathematics in planning and teaching;
- critically read, analyze, evaluate, transform, and implement mathematics education literature;
- demonstrate the mathematical habits of mind of a community of mathematicians;
- demonstrate understanding of mathematical learning progressions and connections within secondary mathematics;
- describe and explain mathematical concepts and procedures addressed in high school and early college and connections among them;
- display a sensitivity and ability to respond productively to the mathematical thinking of secondary students;
- employ habits of mind to continue improving teaching practices that support mathematics learning;
- reason mathematically to develop proofs that communicate the reasoning clearly.
